Intukarn and her husband’s Chinatown house is like a little art sanctuary, nestled in one of the most amazing locations in Bangkok.
The location is probably the best place you could possibly be based for a street-food pilgrimage of Bangkok. There are literally dozens of Michelin Guide recommend food stalls within walking distance. Our top recommendations include (just search on Google Maps) Jae Hmoy Kia Pork Porridge for a delicious breakfast dish; Lim Lao Ngow Fishball Noodle for 80 years of fishball heritage; & Kway Chap Uan Photchana for delicious pepper crispy pork noodle soup. We ate so well, for such little money!
The house itself is so thoughtfully designed and stocked. You can tell that Intukarn and her husband not only care about beautiful design, but also the amazing heritage and culture of the location, and it feels really special to in the midst of the hustle and bustle of Bangkok’s Chinatown merchants, whilst still having some peace and quiet once everyone has shut-up-shop for the day. Also, from a utility point-of-view, every single thing you might need is there to make it feel like a stay at a 5-star hotel, from great bedding, to fully stocked toiletries, to USB charging outlets in every room, to a wonderful French press.
Finally, Intukarn is a wonderfully warm and thoughtful host. We felt completely looked after every step of the way, and she always had amazing recommendations for things to eat, see, and do nearby. She was even thoughtful enough to drop off some delicious seasonal fresh fruit juices for my whole family! Such a wonderful surprise!
Our stay at Intukarn’s place was really one of my favourite AirBnb stays of all time. And a lovely reminder of how great it is to stay at AirBnb’s where you’re not just getting a bed and a bathroom, but rather the truest feeling of what it feels like to be part of culture and part of a community!
